Amego Inc

The best tip I can give you is expect for people to push your buttons. From the hiring process to where ever you end up day program staff or residential staff there was somebody trying to make my day hard, or trying to make me upset it’s weird I’m not sure if they are testing   My patience or literally there are Minnie narcissists running this company. WRITE everything down from the moment you speak to someone about working for them. I mean write everything down ask them to repeat themselves and write everything down. I don’t know how other residential homes are but the one I work in has me fearing my job security, everything that I learned through training and learning for the RBT certificate is not being practiced in the homes. I am trying to figure out why ? It’s been real hard cause they worry more about clean dishes left in the dishwasher than the client having a proper diet. It’s really weird but I am still learning but all that I have learned is not good. The only thing that is good about the house I’m in are the clients are the individuals that I work for and with. Not the staff nor the management . 

The pay at Amego is far better than most in the human service field.  It is a VERY fast growing company which makes it hard to hire and keep the same staff which means less stability within the workforce.  That also means less stability with the individuals and who they will be working with on a daily basis.  

That being said, their mindset is great, their approach is great, (even though I think ABA does not work for all), upper management is EXTREMELY fair and balanced, they truly care about their employees which in this day and age is rare, especially in this field.  

The benefits are great, most of the staff are good, there's never a perfect situation with having 100% amazing staff.  They utilize a lot of overtime staff which is great if your trying to make a bunch of money but I think the individuals suffer at times due to the fact employees are working 3 shifts in row.  

All that being said again, it is a growing company, they are working their butts off to hire new employees, they are VERY strict on passing MAP which I think is great.  Every staff should be able to correctly pass medications to an individual.

By far the worst company I have EVER worked for. I currently work at the Northboro location. The management treats staff as another number, the benifits are awful, the pay is extremely low for all the stuff that you have to put up with, my co-works/ management are not friendly to one another. The worst part is how they treat the individuals. Clients will request to use the restrooms and staff will refuse to let them go. so the client will have an accident and staff will get angry at the individuals if the client has an accident. the staff will not clean up after the client in the work van! This is highly unsanitary and just disgusting. The company states they "integrate the individuals into the community" by making them do meals on wheels. All of the clients stay in the van for two/three hours while the staff will do all the work. There is no structure to this company! The staff will not follow the clinical plan for each individual and just throw on movies for the individuals to watch all day because the staff are lazy and don't want to entertain the clients. They don't care about he well being or the safety of the individuals. Please do not work for this company!!!!!!

Amego Best Clinical Network is a great place if you are looking to make your own schedule and not have a manager breathing down your neck. As a clinical coordinator, I create treatment plans, behavior support plans, and analyze data collected by behavior therapists. The company downfall right now is a lack of direct therapists which has led to many clients having a decrease in hours. This makes piecing together a weekly schedule to hit the goal for billable hours a challenge as well as just being able to see the kids on a frequent basis. Caseloads consist of 14-18 kids and are not always in the same geographical area, but you do get mileage reimbursement. As a new BCBA, I did not get any training for the roles and responsibilities that come with doing my job. My knowledge of my job is solely based off my education and experience working closely with my peers. The team of clinical coordinators is truly special and everyone is supportive and willing to be a resource for information.

Receive reports and read emails from other team members
Medical administration, treatment and documentation of client care. New admissions
i am faced with new challenges on a daily basis and have learnt consult and recall past experiences to solve problems.
Management co-operation and willingness to provide support makes my work easy.
Meeting and collaboration with other health care providers.
My co-workers are a wonderful part of my work at the job site. thier co-operation, deligence and hardwork have contributed to my success
The hardest part of it is when a client is not satisfied with care provided after giving off your best
The most enjoyable part is when you put a smile on the face of a client by going an extra mile to give care.

I can only speak for the BEST clinical network program. Employees are severely underpaid, lots of favoritism. Many employees have other jobs as they cant survive on their wages so it is a good side job or just to get some extra hours being per diem. Sessions will be laid back to go at your own pace as there is not enough supervision of the bcba. The quality of sessions is not there. The coordinators/ most bcbas only care about themselves. There's flexibility being a per diem employee but not enough support if you want to advance in the field. 

These negative reviewers clearly didn’t pay attention during interviews, never mind orientation. The job description is clear from the start. Working with children with behavioral disorders is difficult and it is expected you may get hurt. I get my hair pulled, I get smacked across the face, scratched, and bitten on an almost daily basis, but that is literally what you signed up for when taking this job. The entire purpose of ABA principles is to work to control aggressive behaviors. We are here to help these children and their families. This job teaches you patience and teamwork. I have been here for three years and I absolutely love my job and the children I get to service. There is a lot of room for growth within this company, and it is a very rewarding job. 

The level of violence at this job is drastically understated. You can expect to bleed for this job. I cannot emphasize this enough. If you work with the children, you WILL be injured. All of my coworkers have scars from this job. If you have long hair, you WILL have it pulled by the kids. Amego has a reputation at Sturdy's Occupational Health Service (OHS). The vast majority of my coworkers are decent and caring people, but they get burned out by routinely physically restraining children. If you are good at your job, you will be placed with the most difficult kids. If you are aloof and not good at your job , you will work with the easier kids.  Do yourself a favor and only apply to the Adult program.

I work a Amego for 7 years, the things I enjoyed most were the students and my co workers. My co workers were amazing and supportive, they really made me feel like I belonged. 

The most challenging part of the job was the on call responsibilities. It was very straining and sometime unbearable. The main issue was staff constantly calling and and the lack of support for upper management. 

I have been on call most of my professional career, and this was by far the most unorganized one. There is no staff accountability when it comeS to calling out and they is no support from upper management in this area. 

I have been employed with amego for about 4 months now and I must say i think a lot of other human services agencies could learn a few things from amego. Upper management for the most part is extremely nice and upbeat and approachable. Work/home life balance is better than any agency I've worked for. Everyone employed really cares about the clients we serve and constantly goes above and beyond to assure the best quality of care is being given. The agency is very systematic and organized which makes you're job a lot more enjoyable. Great trainings and trainers. Amego inc is truly the best at what they do.
